Re: Gun ownership details in the UK.

Politicians in every country seem to think of their countrymen as immature and untrustworthy and in need of constant supervision and control like they were all ten year old children being supervised in grade school and particularly so when it comes to firearms. They want a nice docile controllable p...

Re: Gun ownership details in the UK.

The number of license holders is small as you say. What's interesting to me is that 69% of the license holders are age 50 and older. The younger generations don't seem to be interested enough to jump through all of the hoops of inspection and permission and taxation. 0.2% (893) were aged 17 years or...

Re: The experiment in site management that failed.

Sometimes, strangely enough, there seem to be days where hundreds of people are looking at it at the same time when I login. However, since the hundreds aren't saying anything they all could be some...

Re: Dog tag religion controversy

I noticed after I posted this subject that there is still genuine Vietnam dirt in the one I posted a photo of. I wore that one in my boot strings. The other one hung around my neck on a chain. Looks like your tag has larger letters in it, or something, to not have the religion thing on a line to its...

Re: Dog tag religion controversy

I remember the "Christian Name" designation growing up. Guess, that would cause an uproar if used in some official request for personal information now days, particularly if someone is definitely not Christian and takes offense. And again, who's to say you can only have first middle and la...
